PORTLAND – About two dozen women marched topless from Longfellow Square to Tommy's Park this afternoon in an effort to erase what they see as a double standard on male and female nudity. click image to enlarge

A group of women and men who had shed their tops march down a Congress Street sidewalk from Longfellow Square to Tommy's Park. They were promoting the freedom of women to be topless in public. The group attracted many amateur and professional photographers.



The women, preceded and followed by several hundred boisterous and mostly male onlookers, many of them carrying cameras, stayed on the sidewalk because they hadn't obtained a demonstration permit to walk in the street. About a thousand people gathered as the march passed through Monument Square, a mix of demonstrators, supporters, onlookers and those just out enjoying a warm and sunny early-spring day.

After the marchers reached Tommy's Park in the Old Port, some turned around and walked back to Longfellow Square, but most stayed and mingled in the park. Some happily posed for pictures.

Where do we get these freaks. Since the 1960’s they just seem to keep coming.

Reminds me of an old Mainer joke,

What’s the difference between a moose and a dyke in Maine?

A flannel shirt.

But now, idk....

We’d be better off asking men to keep their shirts ON. I’ve seen some man boobs that are Wince Factor 8.

The Northwest just shrugs this stuff off as no big deal. Case in point the group of naked bikers that have become a normal participant in one of Seattle seasonal parades.

...and there is at least one male, or something that could pass as a male, standing on the side walk, facing the other topless walkers.

So she'll be more aggressive in turning away male oglers next time....hmmmm.

From the fact that liberal women are generally plain and ugly and from the looks of their pasty backs, I doubt if many of the oglers would even think of coming back for another look at their fronts.

Maine voted 58% for Obama, I'd be surprised if it wasn't 100% in Portland.

That's pretty much all you need to know.

Or at least, a reasonable selection of them. :)

Two men dressed in flowery sundresses nearby held a sign that read “Pants are for pansies.”

“We came in dresses because we want to end gender stereotypes and inequalities and we felt like this was the best way to support the female marchers,” said Nickolas Konyer, 21 from Canada, one of the men wearing a sundress.

The march organizers Cecil Marlique and Ty MacDowell

Subversive tax protesters!!!

To avoid paying the tanning bed tax, they are bypassing the middle man!

Better get used to this type of protesting.

Kind of funny that they chose a cold day to be topless.

Longfellow? I thought these were women.

The tall thin one in the back looks like she might be nice to ogle. I’m all for women going topless in public. But I suspect that the law of “unintended consequences” would make them rethink their position if it was allowed.
